Django Error: OperationalError: no such table: polls_poll

django, python, shell, sqlite

Solution

I meet the same problem today and fix it I think you miss some command in tutorial 1 just do follow: `./python manage.py makemigrations polls` `python manage.py sql polls` `./python manage.py syncdb`

then fix it and gain the table polls and you can see the table created you should read the "manage.py makemigrations" command

Problem

Going through Django tutorial 1 using Python 2.7 and can't seem to resolve this error: OperationalError: no such table: polls_poll This happens the moment I enter `Poll.objects.all()` into the shell. Things I've already tried based on research through the net: 1) Ensured that `'polls'` is listed under `INSTALLED_APPS` in settings.py Note: I've seen lots of suggestions inserting `'mysite.polls'` instead of `'polls'` into `INSTALLED_APPS` but this gives the following error: ImportError: cannot import name 'polls' from 'mysite' 2) Run `python manage.py syncdb` . This creates my db.sqlite3 file successfully and seemingly without issue in my mysite folder. 3) Finally, when I run `python manage.py shell`, the shell runs smoothly, however I do get some weird Runtime Warning when it starts and wonder if the polls_poll error is connected: \django\db\backends\sqlite3\base.py:63: RuntimeWarning: SQLite received a naive datetime (2014-02-03 17:32:24.392000) while time zone support is active. Any help would be appreciated.
